Probably won of the most famous pictures in British racing history was the basis for Cover No 6, showing Stirling Moss overtaking Juan Manuel Fangio to take the lead and then win the 1955 British GP at Aintree. Fangio went on to win his third F1 World Championship title and Moss was runner up for the season.

The second special is signed by Hans Hermann, a German driver who raced in 18 GPs, gaining 10 points, starting in 1953; in particular, he drove the Mercedes-Benz W196, featured on the cover along with Fangio, Moss, Taruffi and Kling. Herrmann is however more famous for his tremendous achievements in sports car racing, having won the 1960 Targa Florio and Sebring 12-hour plus the 1968 Daytona 24-hour, Sebring 12-hour and Paris 1000 km races.
